MLB rumors: Yankees' doctor signs off on Red Sox's Nathan Eovaldi's elbow

Boston Red Sox slugger Steve Pearce was the MVP of the 2018 World Series, but it was pitcher Nathan Eovaldi who single-handedly saved the pitching staff in the playoffs.

He made six postseason appearances, including four out of the bullpen. None was more memorable or more important than this six-inning stint in Game 3 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Red Sox lost the game in 18 innings, but Eovaldi's gutsy performance was a motivating factor as Boston closed out the series in five games.
